Shia LaBeouf: I Hooked Up...

Usmagazine.com reports a long list of conquests Shia LaBeouf gave in a Details Magazine article.

I say celebrities need to keep their hookup out of the press. The relationship is over so why talk about it just to get ratings. Same goes for you Jennifer Aniston.

Rihanna Responds To Music Video Backlash: 'I'm A Rockstar With No Kids!'

Radaronline.com reports Rihanna addresses her critics about her "non-role model" type videos such as Man Down. She says "I'm a 23 year old rockstar with NO KIDS! What's up with everybody wantin me to be a parent? I'm just a girl, I can only be your/our voice!"

I agree with her on this issue. I believe she is being held to a double standard when it comes to the Man Down video. The movie "The Skin I Live In" staring Antonio Banderas has similar subject matter without the same backlash.

It think the truth of the matter is that rape is an act based on violence and power. So the natural reaction to this event is to react in a violent and powerful way. The only way to overcome the natural reaction is a lot of therapy and the current mental health system doesn't provide that opportunity for most.

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Sheen Wants Full Custody Of Kids From Ex Brooke Mueller

Charlie Sheen isn’t just fighting CBS and Warner Bros. Television: RadarOnline.com has learned the embattled Two and a Half Men star is moving to wrestle full physical custody of his two children from soon-to-be-ex-wife Brooke Mueller.

The twins, Bob and Max, have been at Sheen's Mulholland Estate mansion since before he went to the Bahamas with Mueller, along with porn star Bree Olson and new girlfriend Natalie Kenly.

I wish them both good luck. Charlie Sheen even if sober at this point is still an ass and may not be the best parent at this time.

Billy Ray Cyrus: Miley's Hannah Montana "Destroyed My Family"

Us Magazine reports: In an emotional new interview in GQ magazine, the country singer, 49, sadly expounds at length about his very serious regrets and concerns for his famous daughter Miley, 18. (Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, Miley's mom, also filed for divorce last year after 17 years of marriage.)

I believe the moral of this story is that when parents try to be friends instead of parents children go astray. I also think it is challenging to be a parent when you kid is making the money that supports the family.

I recommend that Will and Jada Pinket-Smith have a sit down with Billy Ray before it is to late for there rising stars.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Charlie Sheen's Former Madam: Lindsay's A Drug Addict, Charlie Just Likes To Party

Radaronline Reports the comments of Heidi Fleiss:

She said: "Look, people need to leave Charlie the f**k alone. Do they really expect him to go to church when he is not working?

"He is the highest paid actor on television -- on a really popular show -- and he always delivers by turning up on time and putting in great performances, and that's all that matters.

"There is no comparison with Lindsay Lohan because she is not functional and is an addict with a sickness - I should know because I've been to rehab several times too.

"It's not as if we see Charlie smoking a crack pipe or anything, the guy just loves to party, and people just don't seem to want to accept that.


I don't agree with her opinion, but many people have the thought if a person is successful then you can't have a problem. As long as people are successful they don't want to address destructive behaviour.

Fergie Taking Her 'Own Journey' Away from Addiction

People reports:

Fergie has addressed her battle with crystal meth addiction but she wants to make one thing clear about her recovery.

"I'm not claiming to be sober," the singer tells Glamour in its December issue. "I think that that would be misleading. I drink alcohol. My father has a vineyard, and [the wine is] really delicious, by the way."

Well, I am happy she is keeping it real. Not every celebrity in rehab can be real with themselves.
I also like how she said it is her own Journey versus the best way to be. If Charlie Sheen could get honest with himself maybe he would be known more for his work then his antics.

Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman Going On Welfare

Radar Online reports, Nadya Suleman must seek welfare because her reality show fell threw.

I feel society has failed Nadya. With all the shows like "Jon and Kate plus eight" and "The Duggers" we make it seem like having a super large family is the way to financial success. Then we abandon the mental states of those in are society who can't separate reality and fantasy.

If affordable mental health care was offered to Nadya earlier in her life. Maybe she would have had the tools to make better decisions.

Laurence Fishburne's Daughter -- Porn Star

TMZ has learned Montana Fishburne is starring in a porno flick for Vivid Entertainment -- explaining, "I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape."

It is insane that people are doing a sex tape on purpose these days.

PETA from the Black Perspective

PETA has always been crazy. I love Nia Long, but in her new naked PETA ad she was way air-brushed and rubbing her private on a subway poll. Tell me what that has to do with Bessie the cow.

Even in the new Sister to Sister magazine the singer Mario has a PETA add. I respect them for trying to reach Blacks. I also apprecitate them using advertising dollars in black markets. But I am never given up the meat for the sake of animal feelings.

But I do eat less meat these days to conserve water. I will need that in the future.
So I think they can convert more people with enviornmental sound facts then with outrages adds.

PETA is a Bad Organization, Full Stop

Now, I have to admit that this billboard sparked me to do this post--in it, fatties are equated to whales and vegetarianism is the cure to our horrible, blubberious existence. First off, vegetarianism is part of an eating philosophy, sometimes religiously ordained, and it can be a very healthy lifestyle choice. However, it is not an automatic weight-loss system and there are certainly fat vegetarians! I know more than a dozen fat vegetarians, I even know a fat vegan. But this billboard is only the latest use of misogyny by PETA to get their message across. Below you will find a variety of offensive photos PETA has used to make sure that (as the Onion piece embedded below decries) "every animal on Earth is treated better than women." Animal Rights is important--especially in light of our inhumane industrial feedlots and slaughterhouses that need to be regulated and reformed (see: Omnivore's Dilemna by Michael Pollan). But, there are much better ways to get Animal Rights Issues across than caging half-naked women and getting C & D-List celebs to pose naked every couple months for a campaign against the fur industry. PETA says sex sells, but what they are really selling is the pornification of violence against women, reinforcing the very dangerous notion that women like to be abused, controlled, and tortured. It just so happens that caging a woman in a yellow bikini kind of could be coded as sympathy for chicks, baby chickens that is. Its a disingenous campaign strategy because all it serves is the attention seeking low-level celebs (who are rarely Vegetarians themselves, just out for the publicity), it makes animal rights activist look insane, and it supports the Patriarchy. Check out the images below!



Here we have a 3/4 naked, pregnant woman. The alleged intent of this campaign was to point out that pregnant cattle do not have much room--fair enough. How about actually campaigning for the humane treatment of cows? No, Vegetarianism is the only solution? Well, what this image does is to make pregnant women more animalistic and dehumanized, which they all ready are during that time (see: The Business of Being Born) in which the history of birth and of taking away decisions or agency from laboring women is detailed.



This is an anti-KFC, yellow chick add. Now KFC has some serious animal rights abuses to contend with and I welcome reforming industrial food in this country, but what does this do besides say: this woman is in sexy distress? Oh, she hates it, loves it. Doe-eyed and bikini clad. Please, its just pornification of abuse.

Pornification of abuse writ large, here. More "Chicks."

Now the pornification of abuse meets the commodification of "human meat."

Instead of posting the 20 or so C & D List Celebs who have done this ad, I wanted to mention that what I mostly heard about this particular anti-fur ad was how much Khloe Kardashian had to work out and "eat right" in order to get into PETA shape for this ad. Gross! First off, Khloe Kardashian is the Kardashian most belittled for her figure, completely unfairly, but second of all that just demonstrates how this whole PETA campaign stuff is really about the publicity, not the Animal Rights Activism. I doubt that many of these low-levels celebs give a damn, let alone have read a book or two on the subject. Its just a trendy "do gooder" thing to do that also happens to be slightly scandalous because you get nekked. Which is perfect publicity, because its both "sexy" and says "I care" which of course in reality its neither--its disturbing, anti-sexy, demeaning, and reinforces the sub-human status of women and it makes animal rights activist look both nutty and shallow.

So over all PETA bad, animal rights good, Patriarchy very bad.
